Affidavit of Support I-864 / I-864A - Proof of Assets with Joint Bank Account

[ANONLAURAY 0]

I am filling out an I-864 Affidavit of Support (I am the petitioner), and my spouse is filling out an 1-864A because I need his income to meet the 125% HHS Poverty Guidelines. My spouse and I have a joint checking account at the bank, and we want to show that as proof of assets (my spouse and I both own this bank account).

 

So in Part 7 of the I-864, do I enter this checking account balance as my assets? And then, do I add this checking account balance again on the I-864A? I was concerned because on the I-864, it asks for the "household member's assets from Form I-864A" which is both of our money... so I wasn't sure if I could put it twice. But if I did, it would be added twice. Does anyone know what to do?
